'''Peter Jackson''' (born October 31, 1961) is a New Zealand-born filmmaker best known as the director of ''The Lord of the Rings'' trilogy, which he, along with his long time partner, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens adapted from the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien. He is also known for his remake of ''King Kong''. | |||
With his successes and innovative film-making, Jackson is now considered to be an important force in the new generation of motion picture directors. Peter Jackson is also executive producing the game-to-film adaptation of [[Microsoft]]/[[Bungie]]'s blockbuster title [[Halo Movie|''Halo'']], expected to hit theaters around mid-2012.
